Wide receiver Derek Moye said he is making strides in rehabbing his broken foot and he is feeling much better.

"It feels really good," he said Tuesday. "It hasn't felt this good since I broke it."

Moye said he twisted his foot jogging down the steps and it turned out he had broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. He sat out the next two games and it seemed as if he was going to be out against Illinois, despite being ruled able to play Thursday.

However, with the team struggling, he got the call to come in during the second half.

He said his foot feels fine despite playing on it over the weekend and he expects to be at full strength by the time Nebraska rolls around after the bye week. The team didn't had yesterday off and today they have just had meetings before getting back in a normal schedule Wednesday.

"We are all happy to have the bye week late in the season," Moye said. "We have a chance to rest and get guys healthy and prepare for our next three games."
